Used to be good... but latest MacOS updates made it unworkable

[alt-tab-macos-bot]

This issue was opened by a bot after a user submitted feedback through the in-app form.

Message:

This was a fab app. I used for ages. But now it's just too glitchy as it uses screenrecording to show the thumbnails of your apps running - which Apply clearly sees as a security nightmare. So some apps are just blocked from showing at all in AltTab if they're too secure to get a screenshot, and now with MacOS 152 there's a nag-pop-up everytime AltTab records the screen which you cannot disable. Which means you get the nag warning every few seconds. Was great while it lasted but think now time to delete it sadly.
